Timber Fence Post 5x4 for Panels and Gates
This timber fence post measures 5" x 4" and is a standard square cut post, ideal for supporting fence panels and traditional fencing, including picket fencing and gates. Its larger 5x4 section makes it a sturdy choice where a gate or heavier panel needs solid support.
Pressure treated throughout, this timber fence post will typically last 10 to 15 years depending on usage, and requires minimal maintenance once installed. It's finished in brown (Tanatone) to match the most common fence and gate colour options, and carries a 10 year guarantee for added peace of mind.
A common question when installing a fence post is how deep it needs to go into the ground, and the guidance here is straightforward: allow around 1ft in the ground for picket fencing, or 2ft in the ground for feather edge fencing, depending on the height and weight of what's being supported.
Sizing and specification
This timber fence post measures 2400mm (8ft) long, with a 125 x 100mm (5" x 4") section, giving it the strength needed for gates and larger panel runs.
